About to March into March

We are about to finish up February and march into March. I can't believe another month is almost over.

Scott had surgery on the 12th and we went back to the doctor yesterday. The X-rays look just like the doctor wants them to look and everything is in place for healing to begin again. It still needs to grow, but it's all in place now to do that. He told Scott to keep using crutches and keep taking the pain meds if he hurts (which he does) and he's going back in six weeks.

Scott says it hurts now more than it did right after the accident and the doctor explained that they had to cut tissue and muscles this time to get in there and do what they wanted. Last time it was all just bone work. So now Scott has muscles and tissues that are sore and of course a larger incision spot too. He got the staples out Monday. He had about 30 in his leg and hip from this surgery. They were the smaller staples, but they were there!

According to the doctor all looks well. He's still looking at about three more months off work, but I'm glad the doc is being cautious!

Matthew is doing well in school and I think he's looking forward to baseball season. We have sign-ups on Sunday for him and then in a couple of weeks they'll be calling about practice. I know he's looking forward to it. He didn't play basketball and is missing the sport thing.

It's cold again today, but had been warm lately and that has us all thinking about spring. Of course with the spring bring mud, but eventually it will dry out. The warm weather will be nice. I don't mind cold weather, but if it's going to warm up, I just want it to do it already. Quit teasing us!

Well just wanted to say hello and let everyone know we're doing good. Have a great week and enjoy the beginning of March! Stephanie
